In the course of practical operations, Russian and Chinese sailors improved their navigation skills in various formations and conducted communications training.
Russian warships practised naval combat with a mock enemy ship, during which they carried out artillery firing at a sea target with 100mm Ak-100 and A-190 artillery systems.
As part of an exercise to repel an air attack by a mock enemy, the ships of the detachment conducted artillery firing at a simulated air target with rapid-fire anti-aircraft guns.
Later, sailors of the Russian and Chinese navies destroyed a mock-up of a sea floating mine posing a danger to shipping from a large anti-submarine ship Admiral Tributs with a heavy machine gun, and also repelled an attack by a high-speed small-sized target.
